"This book tells HMS Faulknor's story from her design and launching to the scrap yard where her proud years of service eventually ended. Faulknor had the honor of sinking the first U-boat of the war, and her life from then on was one of ever-active service including the Norway campaign; as part of Force H based in Gibraltar; and seeing service against the Vichy French, the Italians and the German Luftwaffe in the Mediterranean. Her active war service ended at D-day."--Provided by the publisher.
